Hello everybody! I can say I’m a newbie at Linux. Wanted to ask about Linux’ task viewers. On the famous task viewers such as bpytop, htop etc., can viruses hide from them? Excluding the injected codes, can virus & tracker/logger softwares hide from classic task viewers of Linux? Do they show all kinds of services and...
Hello friends, I am using custom css’ on my Librewolf. Downloaded FF-ULTIMA and it looks cool. I have looked at its all .css files as stranger for css. As far as my view, there is no problem but can these css files cause any security or privacy vulnerability? Like, being injectable or the creator of theme can track us or not?...
Hello guys! I have done a fresh install of Arch Linux with KDE. The first thing to do was downloading Librewolf but there is an issue. I used an installation way that is without an AUR helper. And the package named librewolf-bin. System updated, git command executed, changed directory to librewolf-bin, executed the makepkg -si....
Hello guys, I’m using Arch as a newbie. Learning about it. But worried about a thing. When I was creating the bootable media for install it, I downloaded the .iso and .iso.sig from any mirror that is near. I followed the things about verification of .iso but I got some errors and gave up. Just used the iso I didn’t...
I did download and set the bootable at my previous OS, Fedora. Now the iso is not reachable and I forgot the mirror that I downloaded from. I still have the usb card I used for installation. Can I do any verification over it? Thanks for reply and relaxing info.
Oh, I didn’t know that. I just downloaded iso and iso.sig then used gpg commands. The thing I’m worried about is, maliciousy chance of the iso. I probably used German or French mirror to download the iso. Then, failed the verification. I am using unverificated iso’s Arch Linux now. Can I know if I had any tracker, keylogger or mining software etc. ? Usage is normal and smooth as how it have to be. But idk… Just worried. I still have the same bootable USB that the iso was extracted into. I have a FreeDOS unnecessary PC. Can I verificate the bootable by executing any verification command while I’m at the installation process? Or, can I verify or check my operating system’s originality at post-installation era of my main PC? Thanks for comment.
So sorry for labor. There is a lacking information by me. I created the bootable at my previous OS, so there is no same .iso file. Only extracted version on my USB and installed version that is running on my PC. Can I see the mirror source from the extracted version?
Better guarantee it haha. I did nothing except using unnecessary documents and surfing on the net. And maybe some games. I used archinstall for it but now, I will set it up customized and nonscript. Maybe fresh restart would be better. Thanks for the help again. Goodbye!

Thanks for reply! I have a Samsung phone that De-Googled %100~ (exclude some important Android depencies based on Google). I restored GMS for auth in Signal. After the auth, I uninstalled it back. There is no Youtube, no Google - Chrome, no Spotify etc. Just FOSSed and de-Googled phone. Do I still using Google Services indirect ways because of Signal? Is it possible to be another third-party sharing except phone verification?
Thanks for reply. I know I can’t be totally free from Google. I mean de-Googled as the packages and direct services. My phone model is don’t compatible with popular Custom ROMs like Graphene, Lineage, Calyx and /e/ etc. And don’t want to use unofficial ones. I mind buying a compatible phone or Pixel. Thanks for advice. Goodbye.
It is a bit complex but at least we can say its safer than Meta. Still looking for sources and if I find something clear, I will add here for other Lemmiers. Thank you and Goodbye.
It has end-to-end encryption for messages and its clear. But, I haven’t looked at their source code yet and don’t know which types data they send. Not only contacts, maybe more spesific things that is not encrypted. Just wanted to know it. But its exact that they give our numbers for verification. Thanks for comment. Goodbye.
Hi guys, I was looking for matrix.org’s and Element Client’s privacy policies and I saw something that says Matrix and Element shares data with AWS (Amazon Web Service), Cloudflare, Mythic Beasts, UpCloud. Is it safe to use? The matrix.org has good features as FOSS, decentralized etc. But this seem a lil bad. Any experts...
I understood clearly what you said. Thanks for detailed text. The protocol uses end-to-end encryption, yes. But, I didn’t understand what type of information is being leaked. Do you mean e-mails, phone numbers, profile pics etc. as metadata? If I use another server or self-hosted server, can I avoid the leak. And not only matrix.org, Element uses same types of informations. Element’s permissions was a bit high in Android, Flatpak etc. I’m using Element on my GNU desktop and not on phone. No phone number, no profile pic, no e-mail; only username, server and password. Do I still give information?
Thanks for much detailed comment. That helped me alot and answered all of the questions from my head. Eventually, I am not a criminal or activist. Looks like its secure and private enough. At least there is some eyes as Meta, Google etc. I will mind self-hosting. Thank you again for your labor. Goodbye.
No, just cant import the keys. I tried for librewolf-bin and librewolf but it only says gpg: keyserver receive failed: DNS bla bla (I just typed it from my head but it was something like that). It gave DNS error but don’t remember it. But I fixed it by using Discover app from KDE.
There was Arch Linux option and Flatpak option for Discover to download Librewolf. But the Arch Linux option was unable to click (I think its the same problem), so I used the Flatpak one. I have downloaded some apps from Flatpak too, what are its major cons? I didn’t know about the package installers differences, but I will research for it. Thanks for important info. So, what you think about the gpg problem about DNS? Some forum says its because the Tor connection but I have nothing about it. What should I do?
Idk is there any privacy or safety issues and looking for it. But the app is working as normal. Fast, all features included and getting updates normally. And should I do something about the editing the title or is it solved? Thanks for comment.
Yes, I did updates and I’m updating my system 3 days to 3 days. I tried all ways that is possible for me. Tried the bin version and normal version. Used yay too. I will delete Librewolf and try it again. Will add the error message. Thanks for your comment. Goodbye.
